Spells
What good is a Magic User without a repertoire of spells?
None? Good answer! Magic Users will want (though not
necessarily need) to collect all of these. All prices are
in silver.

On your inventory screen, you should notice that your spells all have a skill level beside them. This is generally only important for Open, Fetch, and Flame Dart, since a higher skill lets the effect last longer in the Mage's Maze. Otherwise there's really no reason to spend all the time to level them up, unless you're a purist (like me) who demands that all skills be at 100 before exporting the character to QFG2. Most spells can be cast in the forest for practice, but I find that the base of the Flying Falls (just outside 'Enry's place) is more entertaining. It's entirely up to you, of course.
